Secrets[edit]

Official[edit]

  1. Behind the yellow door, if you go left, to the left of the unopenable misaligned wall there's an openable wall with a flemoidus bipedicus and a zorchpak. (sector 131)
  2. Behind the red door, to the left there's a vent, go through it to find a flemoidus commonus, a chex armor and a bowl of vegetables. (sector 191)

Non-Official[edit]

  1. To the left of the yellow key room there's an openable wall that acts as a shortcut on both ways so you won't have to open the three doors.
  2. In front of the yellow door, go straight, then left, get on the small edge and press a wall behind it, there's a bowl of fruits and a lift, you can get to the secret through the other side too.
  3. To the right of the blue door near the yellow door there's an openable wall with a couple of flemoidus commonuses and a rapid zorcher.

Bugs[edit]

  1. Behind the third essential door there's a stuck flemoidus bipedicus on an edge.
  2. In front of the red key there's a stuck flemoid larva on the walls.
  3. Some walls are shootable through.
